I think i may have resolved this by uninstalling and re-installing both esys and the Launcher, but I haven't gone back out to the car to screw with it again.

I'm really sad that I can't set my indicators to blink 5x; for some reason all of the coding guides mention this but fail to mention that it's apparently impossible on newer releases of car firmware.

I also haven't had my break-in service yet, and I'm wary of doing any major coding changes for fear that it will cause problems with any software updates they need to do (i.e. cluster software update/recall to fix the failure-to-turn-on bug).

I'm probably going to turn on VLD after your positive experience there though.

Definitely make sure your E-Sys is working properly... I'd hate for you to have issues there.

I've kept backups of my car and before the break in service I plan to reset all the coding back to stock. It's less than a 5 minute job, and I have records of everything I've changed and I figure it's safest to put it back that way before it goes in, particularly, as you said, because of the cluster issues.

I've not found the battery issue to be that important. E-Sys allows you to code off-line, so the actual time spent in the car is minimal. In most situations I don't even start the engine, just put the ignition on, because I know I'll be done in less than a few minutes.

I'm interested in the Euro parking lights... what behaviour is it that's different from ours and how do you enable parking lights after coding?
